I wanted to send my condolences since I can't be there at the wake. I'm holding in my arms Matt's 8 day old Granddaughter, Katie, and I'm recovering from a C-section birth. I honestly wish I could be there to support my Husband & family, but please know that I'm saying a prayer from home instead. Matt was a good Father & he'll be missed and always in our hearts.
